Up to this point, I've been doing all my shaman healing with grid + mouseover macros.
But I read a couple of articles on VuhDo recently and was wondering if any of the guildies use/recommend it. I'm considering trying it out, but reading on the net about it just yields a ton of "I'd die for Grid"/"omg VuhDo is the best!" comments and articles.
Things I love my current grid setup for:
The boxes are colored by what class the player is.
Dead and Ghost status both appear (as well as graying out the box)
There's indication of DC status
The customizable colored dots in the corners: blue-low mana, red-aggro, green-incoming heals, pink-Essence of the Blood Queen
In the top right corner of my boxes I see Poison/Diseased/Curse colored words for the debuffs on a player.
The biggest question I've got about VuhDo I think is if you can use it w/o using all the little icons. I'm not a fan of 5/10/25 boxes on my screen with little colored icons in them (hence why I like the simple color boxes in Grid).
So, any opinions or horror/success stories with VuhDo?
On the rare 5 or 6 times I actually healed on the shammy (pre WotLK) I used grid because it was simple and easy to understand. There's a whole thread buried on this site somewhere with screenshots of everyone's interfaces; and I'll say here what I said there. If your screen looks more complicated than a fucking jumbo jet cockpit, it's time to simplify.
I tried VuhDo when I was still using Grid. Went back to Grid, then over to Healbot.
I've been using healbot but haven't had a chance to try it out in a raid yet so ymmv
I played with VuhDo for a little while. It seems like it's exactly like healbot but with a lot more room for customization. I personally use healbot for any and all healing, so if you try VuhDo but find it too complex, I'd recommend healbot.
I need to learn to use healbot/vuhdo. I currently use Healium. It's an addon similar to the old school Benecast. Old habits die hard.
I wanted to check out VuhDo, but the GUI caused my computer to crash. So, I went back to grid. Since getting a new comp, I just decided to stick with the system that hasn't let me down yet.
I've used Grid/Clique for awhile now...Tried to use Vuhdo before but I've always gone back to Grid for some reason. Clique goes nice with it if you don't want to make mouse over macros. I have everything bound to mouse buttons pretty much. I haven't used healbot in quite some time, but it sounds good now too.
